Delta Halo

• 🔊 "The Forerunners, our most exalted lords, used the seven sacred rings to flee a doomed existence, to escape their endless struggle against the Flood. Long ago, the Prophets and Elites fought an equally fruitless war. Indeed, I suspect we would still be at each other's throats had the Prophets not found evidence of the Forerunners and their Great Journey." - Giving a sermon through a hologram on Installation 05.

• 🔊 "In a gesture of peace and Reconciliation, the Prophets promised to find the means of the Forerunner’s transcendence, and to share this knowledge with the Elites.

For their transgressions, the Humans shall be hunted, until none remain alive." - Announcing the mass murder of the human kind through his hologram on Delta Halo.

• 🔊 "Every member of the Covenant shall walk the path. None will be left behind when our Great Journey begins. That is the Prophet’s age-old promise, and it shall be fulfilled!" - Giving a sermon, promising the Covenant inside the Covenant Empire.

Gravemind

• 🔊 "Stay where you are. Nothing can be done until my sermon is complete." - To 2401 Penitent Tangent, who said they must activate Halo immediately after meeting John-117, the Reclaimer.
